For many associates, Publix feels like a family. We’re there for  each other during tough times and to celebrate happy occasions. But for others, Publix is their family — literally.

Publix News asked how big your Publix family tree is, and we were not disappointed. Several of you were proud to share that 10 or more family members currently call Publix their second home — and if we included retirees, that tree would be a grandfather oak! Meet some of our largest families at Publix.
